On the hillside outside the Stuli Salt Mine

Xiao Mingqin sighed as he looked at the army of star beasts surrounding the steel city wall.

Xiao Mingqin: There is good news and bad news. The good news is that the quantity is more than I expected but I can eat it all. The bad news is that the quantity is a lot.

Fang Mengtie: Hmm? Isn't this all good news?

Xiao Mingqin: The premise of the good news is that you can't cause too much damage. I have contacted Asta but he is busy... As for the others, Cangyue and Luo Yuan are also dealing with the star beasts.

Fang Mengtie: What should I do? If I want speed, I won’t be able to ensure the integrity of the meat.

Xiao Mingqin: There's nothing I can do about it. I'll join in the hunt, although it's not very good, but I'll leave the ones that look worse to them.

Fang Mengtie: Then let’s go!

After saying that, Xiao Mingqin and Fang Mengtie each drew their swords and knives, jumped down from the hill and began to assist the defense forces in dealing with the army of star beasts.

Fang Mengtie was moving at high speed to hunt star beasts while talking to Xiao Mingqin using a Bluetooth headset.

Fang Mengtie: So it seems like quite a lot of people.

Xiao Mingqin: That's because we can make money. Usually, in order to prevent the star beasts from causing damage, we would hire other people to assist in the defense. Generally speaking, there should be more talents. It was too early for the rampage this time, otherwise we wouldn't have come here.

As he spoke, Xiao Mingqin directly chopped off the star beast's head, but the star beast's body was still moving.

Xiao Mingqin: ...You used too much force.

Xiao Mingqin used the space ring to recycle the food ingredients while snapping his fingers. Under his instructions, the Ten Swords of the Food Immortal killed the surrounding star beasts with one accurate blow.

Fang Mengtie: Your strength hasn’t gotten worse yet.

Xiao Mingqin: It’s not bad, right? After all, I’m not good at fighting.

Fang Mengtie: Haha, are you serious? Your efficiency is not much lower than mine.

Xiao Mingqin: That’s because the Ten Swords of the Immortal Eater are so powerful.

Under the sweep of the two, the originally large army of star beasts gradually turned into food.

Xiao Mingqin looked at the army of star beasts that kept attacking and smiled and said: There is still a lot left. It seems that the ingredients for the hot pot soup for dinner have been settled! Fang Mengtie, help me shoot down the flying creatures in the sky!

Fang Mengtie: I understand.

After saying that, Fang Mengtie used the gun mode of the Royal Knight Spear and Sword to start sniping the star beasts flying in the sky.

Fang Mengtie: I haven’t used a gun in a long time, but it feels pretty good.

As she spoke, Fang Mengtie turned around and kicked the head of the star beast that was attacking her.

Fang Mengtie: How much do you want?

Xiao Mingqin: Take them all down!

At this time at the seaside

Luo Cangyue clenched his hands and said: Freeze it!

As Luo Cangyue's magic was activated, the sea in front of him was instantly frozen, and the sea beasts that tried to attack the land were directly turned into ice.

Luo Cangyue: I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. Okay, everyone, please deal with these ice cubes.

After hearing Luo Cangyue's words, the soldiers standing by at the back raised their weapons and smashed the enemies who were frozen into ice.

Luo Cangyue looked at the person in charge and said: Why is it two months earlier this time?

We are very sorry that we are still investigating this, but although the time has been brought forward, the number has also decreased.

Luo Cangyue: Thank you for your hard work! Beat these big fish heads back!

Meanwhile in the forest

Luo Yuan was strolling in the forest where only a ray of sunlight was shining. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard and a monkey with a bullet hole on its head fell from the tree to the ground.

Luo Yuan put away his pistol and continued to move forward carelessly, not paying any attention to the star beast hiding in the shadows.

And just five minutes after he left, a series of restless shadows, unable to contain their restlessness, jumped down from the trees and pounced towards Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan: It’s less than I thought.

This was the last sound the star beast heard.

The moment they jumped off the tree, countless sword lights flashed and only corpses were left on the ground.

Luo Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground and said: ...Is it two millimeters off? It seems that I need to practice more.

After saying that, Luo Yuan put away the Royal Knight's spear and sword and continued wandering in the forest.

As he moved forward, star beasts gradually emerged from the shadows and attacked him, but he killed them all with his Royal Knight's spear and sword.

And at this moment a corpse attracted Luo Yuan's attention.

Luo Yuan frowned as he looked at the corpses on the ground and said: "Look carefully, these are all shadow creatures? How is it possible? Even though most of the star beasts here are dark attributes, there are not so many shadow creatures like this. There is still light here."

As he spoke, Luo Yuan suddenly kicked the corpse on the ground into the sunlight, and then the corpse was instantly ignited under the sunlight.

Luo Yuan: Their light resistance is very low. It seems that they didn't attack me just now because they were afraid of the sunlight. But it's really strange that although shadow creatures will be weakened in the sunlight, they shouldn't catch fire at once. They are more like blood servants and ghouls than shadow creatures.

While thinking, Luo Yuan suddenly turned around and fired into the dark forest.

Luo Yuan: ...Did he escape? The spatial fluctuation is in the front. Although it is different from the initial task, we can't just ignore it.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan flicked the reins and summoned his beloved horse, which began to move in the forest.

As Luo Yuan went deeper, less and less sunlight came through the gaps between the leaves.

Luo Yuan: So that's why it causes the star beast to mutate. It's just one of the Vampire Queen's skills, the Everlasting Darkness. But the Everlasting Darkness should be a domain skill. How could it be like a hole that has been broken and is not repaired, just left to rot?

Even Luo Yuan, who was not good at using magic due to his physical condition, could see that this realm of long darkness could only be maintained by the continuous transportation of magic power.

Luo Yuan: But this will cause trouble. The consumption of the Ever Dark Realm used to conceal information will be determined according to the people staying inside. But if our people enter, the Ever Dark Realm will be damaged due to the overly powerful information interference.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan shook his head helplessly. After all, he was not here to fight.

Luo Yuan: This is really troublesome. None of our vampires are free at this moment. I might as well upload the photos and let them have a headache together.

While taking pictures, Luo Yuan casually threw out a knife to stop the vampire hiding in the dark from using magic.

Luo Yuan: Hey, hey, don’t get excited. I don’t want to cause any trouble.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan glanced at the message in the group.

Xi Qiling: I'll be there soon! Don't hurt her!

However, Luo Yuan did not reply but reluctantly swung out the Royal Knight's Spear Sword and used the sword energy wrapped in it to crush the magic attack.

Luo Yuan: Haha, so when it comes to magic, it’s the big fireball!

Damn invader! Don't be so complacent!

Just as the girl tried to attack again her hand was grabbed.

Xi Qiling stepped out of the space door and said: Stop it.

Luo Yuan looked at Xi Qiling and said: You came much faster than I thought.

Xi Qiling: There's nothing I can do, Royal Knight Lancer. After all, to you, all vampires except the queen-level ones are equally useless.

Luo Yuan: Thank you for the compliment, but would you like to explain it?

Xi Qiling patched up the hole in the Dark Realm and said: "It's not hard to explain. You know I have many businesses, right? I have many employees. But I often fall asleep for a long time and sometimes my employees disappear."

Luo Yuan: What the hell? Can an employee disappear?

Xi Qiling said awkwardly: ...When I fall asleep, a field will be automatically generated and if you enter it accidentally, you will be teleported to a certain place.

Luo Yuan: ...How come you have this strange ability?

Xi Qiling: This is a little difficult to explain. You should know that I have spatial abilities, right? This is the reason.

Luo Yuan: I remember your ability requires coordinates... Oh, I see. Because you didn't set the coordinates, people entering the field will be spread randomly? But this is too far.

Xi Qiling: There's nothing I can do about it. This is not something I can control. Anyway, let's exchange information with each other first. This Realm of Eternal Darkness was made by a consumable that I made that was not very successful.

As she spoke, Xi Qiling knocked on the Chang'an Realm that she had repaired.

Luo Yuan spread his hands and said: I am here to deal with the problem of the rampage of the star beast. Although there are not many people living near this place, I still have to check it out just in case.

Xi Qiling: ...So the Queen is also dealing with this.

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes: "Isn't this natural? Do you know how big her land is? But I think she will be able to solve it in no time."

Xi Qiling said quickly: Wait! Wait! Don't say anything! I want to work!

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes and said: What a fuss! Why does she need you to solve something that she can solve in minutes? And the most important thing is, aren’t you still busy?

Xi Qiling: ...That's why I told you not to say anything! Really, you go and do your work first, I'll take care of this.

Luo Yuan: I understand. I'll send you the information and I'll go help somewhere else.

After saying that, Luo Yuan passed the information and precautions to Xi Qiling.

Xi Qiling looked at the information and said: Okay, I'll handle it.

Luo Yuan: See you later.

After saying that, Luo Yuan opened the space door and headed to the next place.

At the same time, in a bunker on the plain

Li Yisheng said to the defense captain beside him: What's the situation?

Reporting to the young lady, everything is going well. The star beasts here are group-based. After you deal with a few groups, other star beasts dare not approach.

Li Yisheng: Don’t be careless. I will have to leave and go to the next place to assist in defense.

I understand!

Li Yisheng: I understand. Reinforcements will arrive in a few hours.

I understand. Fortunately, the situation here is not that serious, so please go somewhere else first, Miss!

Li Yisheng nodded and said: I understand, then I will go to other places to carry out the mopping-up operation.

After saying that, Li Yisheng opened the space gate and left for several deserted areas that had not yet been defended by the army.

On a volcano

Zhu Rongnian was clearing out the fire elemental creatures while investigating the minerals mixed in their bodies.

Zhu Rongnian looked at the ore in his hand and said: It seems that this trip was not in vain.

After saying this, Zhu Rongnian smashed the fire elemental creature in front of him with a hammer.

Zhu Rongnian said as he walked forward towards the fire elemental creature.

Zhu Rongnian: Let’s come back to kill monsters and get materials after such a long time!

In a rain forest

Zhi Qianshang: It’s more humid here than I thought.

After saying that, Zhi Qianshang jumped up and pulled down the spider web in front of her that was as high as a whole floor.

Zhi Qianshang: It has average strength but good waterproof property and can isolate almost 85% of moisture. Together with some other materials, it can be used to make new underwear for Cangyue. Well, I don't know if I can find the source of the spiders and catch them to raise them.

While putting away the spider web, Zhi Qianshang gradually walked into the depths of the rainforest.

And in a wasteland with nothing but a swarm of rampaging locusts.

Mu Xingshuang sighed as she watched the swarm of locusts gradually approaching from the city wall.

Mu Xingshuang: Wow! Teacher, look at the exaggerated number.

Lin Changye: According to the records, this number is not too large. Has the takeover of the Alpha Defense System's authority been completed?

Alpha: All has been taken over. The anti-aircraft turrets have been fully recharged and are ready for use.

Lin Changye: Then you must not miss any locusts when firing. If you miss one, it may cause irreversible consequences.

Alpha: Got it!

Just as the turrets on the Alpha-controlled fortress began to attack.

Lin Changye said to Mu Xingshuang who was watching the show: Don't just stand there like an idiot, prepare weapons to help Alpha. If there is anything missed, I will take care of it.

Mu Xingshuang: Okay!

After saying that, Mu Xingshuang took out an ion cannon and started attacking the locusts in the sky. However, she had no similar experience, so even though the ion cannon was powerful enough, it did not cause much damage.

Mu Xingshuang:…….

Lin Changye snapped his fingers and a giant dragon formed by sword energy swept away tens of thousands of locusts.

Lin Changye: Continue. I brought you here for training in the first place. Don’t be impatient or you will only hit the ball worse.

Mu Xingshuang: Okay!

At this time in the palace

Chu Yunqi was looking at the virtual sandbox in front of her and giving instructions.

Chu Yunqi: West 12th Army transfers its forces to West 17th to assist in the defense. North 22nd holds on for a while and reinforcements will arrive in five minutes... South 21st holds the stronghold and cooperates with the reinforcements in defense.

eight pm

Under Chu Yunqi's command, this rampage ended with minimal losses.

In the final small world

Lin Changye was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, and then he helplessly caught Chu Yunqi who flew towards him.

Lin Changye: Let’s take a bath first. Fenghua has prepared a medicinal bath for everyone.

Chu Yunqi hugged Lin Changye tightly and said: I'm so tired! I was staring at a virtual sandbox for ten hours!

Li Yisheng, who had just returned, pulled Chu Yunqi down directly.

Li Yisheng dragged Chu Yunqi and said: Don’t be silly, hug her after taking a bath.

Chu Yunqi: Why should I take a shower if I didn’t go outside?

Li Yisheng: Stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to sleep together tonight?

Chu Yunqi:…….

Lin Changye stood up, stretched, and said to Xiao Mingqin who was constantly processing various ingredients in the kitchen.

Lin Changye: Do you need help?

Xiao Mingqin said while processing the ingredients for the hot pot: "Can you help me process the rock salt? The normal particle size will do."

Lin Changye said as he looked at the one meter by one meter block of rock salt on the ground.

Lin Changye: OK.

After saying that, Lin Changye first made a large basin, put the rock salt in it, knocked it, and then countless sword qi swept through to cut the rock salt into the size of ordinary table salt.

Lin Changye: Okay.

Xiao Mingqin: Thank you. This saves a lot of time. Sorry, it will take me another half an hour to cook it.

Lin Changye: It’s okay. I guess it will take the girls some time to finish washing. I’ll just eat some biscuits first. But it’s a pity that you were able to get so much meat.

Xiao Mingqin: With Fang Mengtie's help, we were very efficient. And I don't know if it was a good thing, but after Zhi Qianshang came back, she and Zhu Rongnian worked together to remove the fur, feathers, claws, teeth and other things of these ingredients, which saved me a lot of effort.

Lin Changye: No wonder they look so tired, so this is the case?

Xiao Mingqin: Zhi Qianshang seemed to be in a bad mood because she didn’t find the materials she wanted.

Lin Changye: There’s nothing I can do. Her requirements are too high. The place she went to was the best place I could arrange for her.

Zhu Rongnian walked over and said: Oh, you are not well yet?

Lin Changye looked at Zhu Rongnian who had not dried his hair and said: At least dry your hair before coming out.

Zhu Rongnian said while pouring water: Hahaha, it's okay, it's just right to cool down. By the way, the place you recommended to me is really good and the materials are great.

Lin Changye: But Zhi Qianshang seems dissatisfied.

Zhu Rongnian: She is just throwing a tantrum because she didn't catch the pet she wanted. It seems that the silk of a big spider meets her requirements but she didn't catch it so she is throwing a tantrum.

When Lin Changye heard Zhu Rongnian's words, he almost spit out the juice he had just drunk.

Lin Changye: What? A giant spider? I've never heard of this before? Could it have suddenly appeared... No, it should be that Zhi Qianshang went deep into the rainforest and found the giant spider hiding there?

Zhu Rong Nian: Really? But she said yes? And she said the big spider escaped her silk thread.

Lin Changye: It seems that the danger level needs to be adjusted. However, I guess Zhi Qianshang won’t take pictures. But Alpha will draft a report and ask them to make the adjustment.

Alpha: Got it!
